Fabric

Britex fabrics is internationally renowned for our ability to scout the world for unique, amazing textiles. We offer many fantabulous fabrics in our online store, including couture fabrics, sheer cotton voile, delicate silks, flattering stretch cotton, delightful water resistant fabrics, imported delicacies, and bespoke-worthy worsted wools and suitings. Let your imagination run free and wild; these distinctive fabrics are usually available for a short time period, as yardages are often limited.

This classic tan and natural herringbone fabric is special, as it is made from the fleece of a delightful Alpaca named Lexus (or maybe from one of her herd-mates!) Alpaca is a soft, lustrous fiber that is warmer and lighter than wool, and is so soft it can be worn next to your skin. Alpaca is also hypo-allergenic and has the ability to wick away moisture. This would make a spectacular unstructured jacket, or tailored waistcoat for fall. Made in the USA. 100% alpaca. 45” wide. LIMITED STOCK

A classic gunmetal grey silk fabric, with a whiff of taupe, beautiful drape, and almost crepe-like texture. This would look stunning as a simple lined shift, and paired with gleaming pearls. 100% silk. Made in Italy. This fabric is 44" wide.

A classic medium weight pale khaki silk broadcloth fabric, with beautiful drape and slightly slubby texture. This would be perfect as an unstructured warm weather jacket, paired with separates in shades of toast. 100% silk. This fabric is 45" wide.

A midweight stretch cotton/lycra blend has a small amount of stretch. This stretch cotton is a lovely cappuccino brown shade with a woven brocade floral pattern, reminiscent of graceful Art and Crafts motifs. This would make a charmingly chic lace-trimmed drop-waist frock -- perfect for an afternoon game of crochet on the lawn, followed by iced beverages on the veranda! Cotton/lycra blend. 49" wide. One way stretch.

A midweight cotton shirting fabric in a milk chocolate brown. Smooth and pliable, this cotton shirting would be wonderful as a dress shirt, or a pair of loose draw-string lounging pants. 45" wide. 100% cotton.

An amazing cotton lace knit in creamy cappuccino, with a loose cable weave mounted on mesh, this fabric has the luxurious look and feel of a tailored knit lace. This unique knit would make a stunning strapless evening gown or a sophisticated jacket. 48" wide. Cotton and viscose blend. Made in Italy.

It is difficult to resist a good scholarly plaid! A midweight rayon blend, in a plaid in forest green, lemon yellow, and black on a warm reddish brown background. This is the perfect weight for a demure pleated skirt, or perhaps a pair of preppy flat-front trousers. Dry clean only. 50% rayon and 50% acetate. 45" wide.

Silvercloth is a soft anti-tarnish fabric, used in the construction of custom storage pouches, pocketed rolls for silverware, and linings for drawers and china cabinets. In addition to keeping silver and silver plated articles shining between uses, it also protects your silver against dust and scratches. Important fabric care: This fabric is not washable. 100% cotton. 40" wide.
